Connectors
Teradata Visual Explain uses two types of connectors to show the relationship between the database objects. These connectors turn the individual icons of the visual plan into an easy‑to‑understand graphical flow chart. Table 22 describes the connector types.
Connector Type |
Description |
Solid line |
The relationships between database objects displayed in the visual plan (for example, a table, a spool, and the result set). These connectors are always on. |
Dashed line |
Spool reuse in the visual plan. To view these connectors, click View>Show Connectors. |
Clicking on a dashed‑line connector changes the line to a solid line. Right-click on a connector to go to the source or go to a target.
Use the menu options to navigate between the steps where the spool is reused.
For additional information, see “Locating Spool References” on page 152.
